Sometimes the Road Leads Through Dark Places . . .

Still hobbling along in the June gloom, but Summer is here, and the time is right for dancing in the streets. Fremont, the Seattle neighborhood at the center of the universe, held its carefree and colorful Solstice Parade on Saturday (check out some of my Flickr friends photos of the very colorful doings here and here--adviso: some good-natured body-painted bike-riding nudity). Happy first day of summer to readers in the northern hemisphere, and wishing those south of the equator a mild start to winter!
